Beijing Olympics 2008 - Ping Pong. China vs. China Reserve Team.

Ya Ha!
Its time for another commentary on a Beijing Olympics Game.

This time, its the most anticipated game in Singapore... Singapore's bid for a gold - In Ping Pong - with Li Jia Wei and Tianwei. Come to think of it, they're both China PRs.. Most would say they're "people who didn't make it in China and came to Singapore", others call the majority of Singapore's Olympic team "The China Reserve Team". Personally, I don't really care. But I definitely prefer true blue Singaporeans winning something.. C'mon man.. We can do this.

Fight 1 - Feng Tian Wei (SG) vs. Wang Nan (PRC)
Scoreboard:
11-9 (1-0)
3-11 (1-1)
8-11 (1-2)
6-11 (1-3) PRC WINS

Just like my absolute prediction. SG will lose 1-3, only due to human error on China's part.

Tianwei can't handle smashes.. apparently.. Though she won the 1st match, it was hard fought, and with much human error from Wang Nan.

Wang Nan reminds me of Huang Na -.-"
Lol la.. I was on BNET shouting "WANG NAN GO BACK TO YOUR GRAVE! DONT MAKE ME GET THE MALAYSIAN GUY TO SCREW YOU AND CHOP YOU UP AGAIN!"... still we lost anyway haha.

Fight 2 - Li Jia Wei (SG) vs. Zhang Yi Ning (PRC)
Scoreboard:
11-9 (1-0)
3-11 (1-1)
4-11 (1-2)
7-11 (1-3) PRC WINS

Comments:
This match definitely the most fierce and interesting.. I had this impression since I heard Li Jia Wei playing.. Wa.. just how old is she? I think I heard her name since Primary school days.. and she still looks damn young and pretty on TV.. Sia la..

The commenter said "They (Jia Wei and Yining) were friends when they were very young".. Pain sia.. I would never wanna fight my friend in Finals.. Why can't we just have a friendly match =(

During the 1st time-out, the China team was discussing strategy to win back Li Jia Wei from 10-8. Guess what's Li Jia Wei was doing? She was clipping and re-arranging her hair, while nodding to the coach. Rofl.. Cool sia..

Anyway, I think their match has the best point play in this match between SG and China. The 3rd round, 2nd (or was it 3rd) point play.. Smashes after smashes.. smashes returned by smashes.. around 5~7 smashes before it finally ended.. You can practically hear the crowd ooo-ing and ahh-ing.. Sia la! Damn imba and nice to see!

Fight 3 - Li Jia Wei & Wang Yue Gu (SG) vs. Zhang Yi Ning & Guo Yue(PRC)
Scoreboard:
8-11 (0-1)
5-11 (0-2)
6-11 (0-3) PRC WINS

Ah damn. Didn't really watch.. Was playing BNET with Justin. Pif. Anyway, a few glimpses when I turned my head was enough to tell me it was quite a close fight I suppose.. Pretty good teamwork and stuff.. Nice smashes, nice slicings, nice spins.

And you know I was just bullshitting all those generic comments out. Bleh. I give up. I didn't really watch it so nothing much to comment on this.. But I know we lost. That's all.

Lol la. I guess China still the Top eh. But not bad for a 2nd I suppose... Considering we have nothing so close before. FIRST SILVER MEDAL SINCE INDEPENDENCE BABY!

Good job Team Singapore. Or if you prefer "Jiayou China Reserve Team!" XD
